Lovely place. It is definitely worth a visit. Suitable for photography enthusiasts. The walk in the park, adds a sense of tranquility and peace.
Great e bike tour to villa reale, booking e bikes was a straightforward procedure; the bikes were easy to operate; the trip to villa reale was a very manageable distance with a beautiful end destination.
This cycling tour of the countryside takes you on paths alongside the river and onto country roads with the Villa as the final destination . I'm a regular cyclist so I didn't find it difficult. There was a bit of road to navigate but it wasn't an issue. It may have taken an hour but I wasn't keeping track of time because I was so lost in the beauty and tranquility of the country. The gardens of the Villa are worth the visit too.
A little difficult getting out of Lucca, but then a beautiful ride to the Villa. The Villa is amazing with huge gardens. Very worth it.
Villa Reale is fantastic and worth the visit. The bikes are what you expect a rental to be. The 10 mile ride to the villa is a gradual up hill. Very doable, we just happened to do it on a 100 degree day. The ride back was on streets with a few busy crossings. Again, all doable just slightly stressful.
The views were amazing, took beautiful photos. Electric bikes were fantastic! So glad we did it, just loved it. Weather amazing. Beautiful Tuscany.
Great day out seeing the countryside by e-bike. Bikes were great. Nice little restaurant stop to eat - Il Chiocciolo.
Cycling around Lucca was a different and enjoyable experience in our trip to Toscany. I strongly recommend it. The Tourist shop people were very friendly and helpful. The path to Villa Reale and the garden were very beautiful. You can also keep the bikes for the whole day and use it to go around Lucca.
